It's a big Friday night on tap for Windsor High School graduate Zach Watts.

Watts, a 6-foot-5, 280-pound true freshman, will start for the Wyoming football team at left guard against Colorado State University, according to Robert Gagliardi of WyoSports.net.

The Rams host Wyoming at 8 p.m. Friday (CBSSN) at Canvas Stadium. Watts hasn't played this year, but according to Gagliardi Wyoming coach Craig Bohl is looking for a change on offense. The Cowboys are 129th in the nation in scoring at 15.5 points per game and 88th in rushing yards per game.

Bohl confirmed that true freshman Zach Watts will start at left guard this week. Said he likes his competitiveness and ability to sustain blocks. #GoWyo#wyosports
